SECTION – A
Questions 1 to 10 carry 1 mark each.
1. If one of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial (k – 1)x2 + kx + 1 is –3, then the value of k is
(a) 4/3 (b) -4/3 (c) 2/3 (d) -2/3
Ans: (a) (k – 1)x2 + kx + 1
One zero is – 3, so it must satisfy the equation and make it zero.
∴ (k – 1) (– 3)2 + k(– 3) + 1 = 0
⇒ 9k – 9 – 3k + 1 = 0
8 4
⇒ 6k – 8 = 0 ⇒ k  
6 3
2. If the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 + (a + 1) x + b are 2 and –3, then

(a) a = –7, b = –1 (b) a = 5, b = –1 (c) a = 2, b = –6 (d) a = 0, b = –6
Ans: (d) x2 + (a + 1)x + b
∵ x = 2 is a zero and x = – 3 is another zero
∴ (2)2 + (a + 1)2 + b = 0
and (– 3)2 + (a + 1) (– 3) + b = 0
⇒ 4 + 2a + 2 + b = 0 and 9 – 3a – 3 + b = 0
⇒ 2a + b = – 6 ...(i) and – 3a + b = – 6 ...(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get 5a = 0
⇒ a = 0 and b = – 6.
3. Zeroes of a polynomial p(x) can be determined graphically. No. of zeroes of a polynomial is

equal to no. of points where the graph of polynomial
(a) intersects y-axis (b) intersects x-axis
(c) intersects y-axis or intersects x-axis (d) none of these
Ans: (b) Intersects x-axis
4. If graph of a polynomial p(x) does not intersects the x-axis but intersects y-axis in one point, then
no. of zeroes of the polynomial is equal to
(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 0 or 1 (d) none of these
Ans : (a) 0
5. If p(x) = ax2 + bx + c and a + b + c = 0, then one zero is

(a) -b/a (b) c/a (c) b/c (d) none of these
Ans: (b) p(1) = 0; a(1)2 + b(1) + c = 0 ⇒ a + b + c = 0 ∴ one zero (a) = 1
β = product of zeroes = c/a
⇒ 1.  = c/a ⇒  = c/a
Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 1 -
∴ zeroes are 1 and c/a
6. The number of polynomials having zeroes as –2 and 5 is

(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) more than 3
1 3
Ans: (d) ∵ x2 – 3x – 10, 2x2 – 6x – 20, x 2  x  5 , 3x2 – 9x – 30 etc.,
2 2
have zeroes – 2 and 5.
7. The quadratic polynomial, the sum of whose zeroes is –5 and their product is 6, is
(a) x2 + 5x + 6 (b) x2 – 5x + 6 (c) x2 – 5x – 6 (d) –x2 + 5x + 6
Ans: (a), sum of zeroes = –5, product = 6
Polynomial is, x2 – (sum of zeroes) x + product of zeroes
⇒ x2 – (–5)x + 6 = x2 + 5x + 6.
8. If zeroes of p(x) = 2x2 – 7x + k are reciprocal of each other, then value of k is

(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4
Ans: (b) Zeroes are reciprocal of each other

assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
9. Assertion (A): x2 + 4x + 5 has two real zeroes.
Reason (R): A quadratic polynomial can have at the most two zeroes.
Ans : p(x) = 0 ⇒ x2 + 4x + 5 = 0
Discriminant, D = b2 – 4ac
= 42 – 4 x 1 x 5
= 16 – 20 = – 4 < 0
Therefore, no real zeroes are there.
10. Assertion (A): If the sum of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 – 2kx + 8 are is 2 then
value of k is 1.

Questions 11 to 14 carry 2 marks each.
11. Find the zeroes of √3x2 + 10x + 7√3

Ans: √3x2 + 10x + 7√3 = √3x2 + 3x + 7x + 7√3
= √3x(x + √3) + 7(x + √3)
= (√3x + 7)(x + √3)
For zeroes of the polynomial,
(√3x + 7)(x + √3) = 0
⇒ √3x + 7 = 0 or x + √3 = 0
⇒ √3x = -7 or x = -√3
⇒ x = -7/√3 or x = -√3

15. Find the zeroes of p(x) = 4x2 + 24x + 36 quadratic polynomials and verify the relationship
between the zeroes and their coefficients.
Ans: p(x) = 4x2 + 24x + 36
For zeroes, p(x) = 0
⇒ 4x2 + 24x + 36 = 0 ⇒ 4(x2 + 6x + 9) = 0
⇒ 4(x2 + 3x + 3x + 9) = 0 ⇒ (x + 3) (x + 3) = 0
⇒ x + 3 = 0 or x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = –3, x = –3
Zeroes are –3, –3.

16. If α and β are zeroes of the quadratic polynomial 4x2 + 4x + 1, then form a quadratic polynomial
whose zeroes are 2α and 2β.
Ans : p(x) = 4x2 + 4x + 1
α, β are zeroes of p(x)

Now a quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are 2α and 2β
x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + Product of zeroes
= x2 – (2α + 2β)x + 2α × 2β = x2 – 2(α + β)x + 4(αβ)
1
= x2 – 2 × (–1)x + 4 × [Using eq. (i) and (ii)]
4
= x2 + 2x + 1
17. If α, β re zeros of quadratic polynomial 2x² + 5x + k, find the value of k such that (α + β)² - αβ =
24
Ans: We know that α +β = −b/a and αβ = c/a
Given, 2x2 + 5x + k = 0
⇒ a = 2, b = 5, c = k
Given that (α + β)2 – αβ = 24
⇒ (−b/a)2 – c/a = 24
⇒ b2 − ca = 24a2 (Multiplying both sides by a2)
⇒ 52 − 2k = 24(2)2
⇒ 2k = 25 – 96 = −71
∴ k = −71/2

SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)

19. Case Study-1 : Lusitania Bridge
Quadratic polynomial can be used to model the shape of many architectural structures in the
world. The Lusitania Bridge is a bridge in Merida, Spain. The bridge was built over the
Guadiana River in 1991 by a Spanish consortium to take the road traffic from the Romano
bridge. The architect was Santiago Calatrava. The bridge takes its name from the fact that
Emerita Augusta (present day Merida) was the former capital of Lusitania, an ancient Roman
province.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.

(i) If the Arch is represented by 10x2 – x – 3, then find its zeroes. (2)
(ii) Find the quadratic polynomial whose sum of zeroes is 0 and product of zeroes is 1. (2)
OR
(ii) Find the sum and product of zeroes of the polynomial √3 x2 – 14x + 8√3 (2)
Ans: (i) Put 10x2 – x – 3 = 0
⇒ 10x2 – 6x + 5x – 3 = 0
⇒ 2x(5x – 3) + 1(5x – 3)
⇒ (2x + 1) (5x – 3) = 0
⇒ x = -1/2, 3/5
(ii) Sum of zeroes = 0 and Product of zeroes = 1
Required polynomials = k[x2 – (sum)x + Product]
= k(x2 – 0x + 1)
= k(x2 + 1)

20. The figure given alongside shows the path of a diver, when she takes a jump from the diving
board. Clearly it is a parabola. Annie was standing on a diving board, 48 feet above the water
level. She took a dive into the pool. Her height (in feet) above the water level at any time ‘t’ in
seconds is given by the polynomial h(t) such that h(t) = -16t² + 8t + k.
(i) What is the value of k? (2)

(ii) At what time will she touch the water in the pool? (2)
OR
(ii) Rita’s height (in feet) above the water level is given by another polynomial p(t) with zeroes -
1 and 2. Then find p(t) (2)
Ans: (i) Initially, at t = 0, Annie’s height is 48ft
So, at t = 0, h should be equal to 48
h(0) = -16(0)² + 8(0) + k = 48 ⇒ k = 48
(ii) When Annie touches the pool, her height = 0 feet
i.e. -16t² + 8t + 48 =0 above water level
2t² – t – 6 =0
⇒ 2t² – 4t +3t -6 =0
2t(t – 2) + 3(t – 2) =0
(2t + 3) (t – 2) = 0
i.e. t = 2 or t = -3/2
Since time cannot be negative, so t = 2seconds
OR
(ii) t = -1 & t = 2 are the two zeroes of the polynomial p(t)
Then p(t) = k(t + 1)(t – 2)
When t = 0 (initially) h₁ = 48ft
p(0) = k(0² - 0 - 2) = 48
⇒ -2k = 48
So the polynomial is -24(t² - t - 2) = -24t² + 24t + 48.

Ans: Given equation are
2x + 3y = 7 ...(i)

4x + 3y = 11 ...(ii)
Here coefficients of y in both the equations are equal
Subtracting (i) and (ii), we get 2x = 4
⇒x=2
when x = 2, equation (i) becomes
2 × 2 + 3y = 7 ⇒ 3y = 3 ⇒ y = 1
Hence, the required solution is x = 2, y = 1

⇒ x = 22 cm
Putting x = 22 in eq. (i), we have
22 + y = 30

12. The sum of the squares of three consecutive positive integers is 50. Find the integers.
Ans: Let three consecutive positive integers be x, x + 1 and x + 2.
According to the question, x2 + (x + 1)2 + (x + 2)2 = 50
x2 + x2 + 2x + 1 + x2 + 4x + 4 = 50
3x2 + 6x – 45 = 0
x2 + 2x – 15 = 0
(x + 5)(x – 3) = 0
x = – 5 or x = 3
But x is positive integer, x ≠ – 5
Hence x = 3; when x = 3 integers are 3, 3 + 1, 3 + 2 i.e. 3, 4 and 5.

2x2 + px – 15 = 0
2(–5)2 + p(–5) – 15 = 0
50 – 5p – 15 = 0 p = 7

p(x2 + x) + k = 0 becomes 7(x2 + x) + k = 0

Here A = (1 + m2), B = 2mc, C = c2 – a2
We know that For equal roots, D = 0
⇒ B2 – 4AC = 0
⇒ (2mc)2 – 4(1 + m2)(c2 – a2) = 0
⇒ 4m2 c2 – 4(c2 – a2 +m2c2 – m2a2) = 0
⇒ 4m2c2 – 4c2 + 4a2 – 4m2c2 + 4m2a2 = 0
⇒ – 4c2 + 4a2 + 4m2a2 = 0
⇒ 4c2 – 4a2 – 4m2a2 = 0

2
⇒ x – 200x = 240000
⇒ x2 – 200x – 240000 = 0

⇒ x2 – 600x + 400x – 240000 = 0
⇒ x(x – 600) + 400(x – 600) = 0
⇒ (x + 400) (x – 600) = 0
⇒ x + 400 = 0 or x – 600 = 0
⇒ x = – 400 (rejected) or x = 600
∴ original speed = 600 km/hr
600
∴ original duration of flight = = 1 hour

19. Raj and Ajay are very close friends. Both the families decide to go to Ranikhet by their own cars.
Raj’s car travels at a speed of x km/h while Ajay’s car travels 5 km/h faster than Raj’s car. Raj
took 4 hours more than Ajay to complete he journey of 400 km.
(a) What will be the distance covered by Ajay’s car in two hours? (1)
(b) Which of the following quadratic equation describe the speed of Raj’s car? (2)
(c) What is the speed of Raj’s car? (1)
Ans: (a) Given, Raj’s car travel at a speed of x km/h.
Then Ajay’s car travels a distance in one hour is (x + 5) km.
Therefore, Ajay’s car travels a distance in two hours is 2(x + 5) km.

x ( x  5)
(c) x2 + 5x – 500 = 0
⇒ x2 + 25x – 20x – 500 = 0
⇒ x(x + 25) – 20(x + 25) = 0
⇒ (x + 25)(x – 20) = 0
⇒ x + 25 = 0 or x – 20 = 0
⇒ x = – 25 or x = 20
Since, speed cannot be negative, so we consider only, x = 20.
Hence, speed of Raj’s car is 20 km/h.

20. John and Jivanti are playing with the marbles. They together have 45 marbles. Both of them lost
5 marbles each, and the product of the number of marbles they now have is 124.
(a) Find the quadratic equation related to the given problem (2)
(b) Find the Number of marbles John had. (2)
Ans: If John had x number of marbles, then Jivanti had (45 – x) marbles, because there are total
45 marbles.
Number of marbles left with John, when he lost 5 marbles = x – 5
Number of marbles left with Jivanti, when she lost 5 marbles
= (45 – x – 5) = (40 – x)
(a) According to question, (x – 5)(40 – x) = 124
⇒ – x2 – 200 + 40x + 5x – 124 = 0
⇒ x2 – 45x + 324 = 0
(b) x2 - 45x + 324 = 0
⇒ x2 – 9x – 36x + 324 = 0 ⇒ x(x – 9) – 36(x – 9) = 0
⇒(x – 9)(x – 36) = 0 ⇒ Either x = 9 or x = 36.
Therefore, the number of marbles John had 9 or 36.

⇒ (n – 1) = 10 ⇒ n = 11
Hence, 11 days are needed to achieve the target.
(ii) a5 = a + 4d = 51 + 4(– 2) = 51 – 8 = 43 sec
a7 = a + 6d = 51 + 6(– 2) = 51 – 12 = 39 sec
Now, time difference = 43 – 39 = 4 sec.
OR
(ii) We have, a = 3 and d = 12
∴ a21 = a + 20d = 3 + 20 × 12 = 243
Let nth term of the given AP be 120 more than its 21st term. Then, an = 120 + a21
⇒ 3 + (n – 1)d = 120 + 243
⇒ 3 + 12(n – 1) = 363 ⇒ 12(n – 1) = 360
⇒ n – 1 = 30 ⇒ n = 31
Hence, 31st term of the given AP is 120 more than its 21st term.
20. In the month of April to June 2022, the exports of passenger cars from India increased by 26% in
the corresponding quarter of 2021–22, as per a report. A car manufacturing company planned to
produce 1800 cars in 4th year and 2600 cars in 8th year. Assuming that the production increases
uniformly by a fixed number every year.
Based on the above information answer the following questions.

(i) Find the production in the 1st year. (1)
(ii) Find the production in the 12th year. (1)
(iii) Find the total production in first 10 years. (2)
OR
(iii) In how many years will the total production reach 31200 cars? (2)
Ans: (i) Since the production increases uniformly by a fixed number every year, the number of
Cars manufactured in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, . . .,years will form an AP.
So, a + 3d = 1800 & a + 7d = 2600
So d = 200 & a = 1200
(ii) a12 = a + 11d ⇒ a30 = 1200 + 11 × 200
⇒ a12 = 3400
n 10
(iii) S n  [2a  (n  1) d ]  S10  [2  1200  (10  1)  200]

 [2  1200  ( n  1)  200]  31200
2
n
  200[12  ( n  1)]  31200
2
⇒ n[12 + (n − 1) ] = 312
⇒ n2 + 11n – 312 = 0
⇒ n2 + 24n – 13n – 312 = 0
⇒ (n +24)(n – 13) = 0
⇒ n = 13 or – 24.
As n can’t be negative. So n = 13

20. Vijay is trying to find the average height of a tower near his house. He is using the properties of
similar triangles. The height of Vijay’s house if 20 m when Vijay’s house casts a shadow 10 m
long on the ground. At the same time, the tower casts a shadow 50 m long on the ground and the
house of Ajay casts 20 m shadow on the ground.

(a) What is the height of the tower? (1)
(b) What is the height of Ajay’s house? (1)
(c) What will be the length of the shadow of the tower when Vijay’s house casts a shadow of 12
m? (2)
OR
(c) When the tower casts a shadow of 40 m, same time what will be the length of the shadow of
Ajay’s house? (2)
Ans:
(a) When two corresponding angles of two triangles are similar, then ratio of sides are equal.
Height of Vijay's house/Length of Shadow = Height of Tower/Length of Shadow
⇒ 20 m/10 m = Height of Tower/50 m
⇒ Height of Tower = 20 × 50/10 = 100 m
(b) Height of Vijay's house/Length of Shadow = Height of Ajay's house/Length of Shadow
20 m/10 m = Height of Ajay's house/20 m
Height of Ajay's house = 20 × 20/10 = 400/10 = 40m
(c) The height of Vijay’s house is AC = 20m.
The height of the tower is A’C’ = 100m.
The length of shadow of Vijay’s house is AB = 12cm.
∵ A′B′/A B = A′C′/A C
⇒ A′B′ = AB/A C × A′C′ = 12/20 × 100 = 12 x 5 = 60m
OR
(c) The height of tower is A’C’= 100m.
And the height of Ajay’s house is PR = 40m
The length of shadow of tower is A’B’= 40m.
The length of shadow of Ajay’s house is PQ.
∵ ΔA′B′C′ and ΔPQR are similar triangles.
∴ PQ/A′B′ = PR/A′C′
⇒ PQ = (PR/A′C′) × A′B′ = 40 × 40 /100 = 16m

In the following questions 9 and 10, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of
reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
9. Assertion (A): If x = 2 sin2θ and y = 2 cos2θ + 1 then the value of x + y = 3.

Reason (R): For any value of θ, sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
Ans: We know that for any value of θ, sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
So, Reason is correct.
For assertion: We have x = 2 sin2θ and y = 2 cos2θ + 1
Then, x + y = 2 sin2θ + 2 cos2θ + 1
= 2(sin2θ + cos2θ) + 1
= 2 x 1 + 1 [∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]
= 2 + 1 = 3.
Hence, Assertion is also correct.
Correct option is (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct
explanation of assertion (A).
10. Assertion (A): Sin A is the product of Sin and A.

Reason (R): The value of sinθ increases as θ increases.
Ans: For assertion: Sin A is not the product of Sin and A.
It is the Sine of ∠A.
∴ Assertion is not correct.
For reason: The value of sinθ increases as θ increases in interval of 0°< θ < 90°
So, Reason is correct.
Correct option is (d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

19. A lighthouse is a tall tower with light near the top. These are often built on islands, coasts or on
cliffs. Lighthouses on water surface act as a navigational aid to the mariners and send warning to
boats and ships for dangers. Initially wood, coal would be used as illuminators. Gradually it was
replaced by candles, lanterns, electric lights. Nowadays they are run by machines and remote
monitoring. Prongs Reef lighthouse of Mumbai was constructed in 1874-75. It is approximately
40 meters high and its beam can be seen at a distance of 30 kilometres. A ship and a boat are
coming towards the lighthouse from opposite directions. Angles of depression of flash light from
the lighthouse to the boat and the ship are 300 and 600 respectively.

CHAPTER 10 CIRCLES (ANSWERS)

SECTION – A
1. In the given below figure, point P is 26 cm away from the centre O of a circle and the length PT
of the tangent drawn from P to the circle is 24 cm. Then the radius of the circle is
(a) 25 cm (b) 26 cm (c) 24 cm (d) 10 cm

Ans: (d) ∵ OT is radius and PT is tangent
∴ OT ⊥ PT
Now, in ∆OTP,
OP2 = PT2 + OT2
⇒ 262 = 242 + OT2
⇒ 676 – 576 = OT2
⇒ 100 = OT2 ⇒ 10 cm = OT
2. In the below figure AT is a tangent to the circle with centre O such that OT = 4 cm and OTA =
30°. Then AT is equal to
(a) 4 cm (b) 2 cm (c) 2√3 cm (d) 4√3 cm
Ans: (c) 2√3 cm

∠OAT = 900 [∵ Tangent is perpendicular to the radius]
In right angled ∆OAT,
AT 3 AT
cos 300     AT  2 3 cm
OT 2 4
3. In figure if O is centre of a circle, PQ is a chord and the tangent PR at P makes an angle of 50°
with PQ, then POQ is equal to
(a) 100° (b) 80° (c) 90° (d) 75°

Ans: (a) 100°
OP ⊥ PR [∵ Tangent and radius are ⊥ to each other at the point of contact]
OPQ = 90º – 50º = 40º
OP = OQ [Radii]
∴ OPQ = OQP = 40º
In ΔOPQ,
⇒ POQ + OPQ + OQP = 180º
⇒ POQ + 40º + 40º = 180º
POQ = 180° – 80° = 100º.
4. In figure, O is the centre of a circle, AB is a chord and AT is the tangent at A. If AOB = 100°,
then BAT is equal to
(a) 100° (b) 40° (c) 50° (d) 90°

Ans: (c) 50°
AOB = 100°
OAB = OBA (∵ OA and OB are radii)
Now, in ∆AOB,
AOB + OAB + OBA = 180° (Angle sum property of ∆)
⇒ 100° + x + x = 180°
[Let OAB = OBA = x]
⇒ 2x = 180° – 100°
⇒ 2x = 80° ⇒ x = 40°
Also, OAB + BAT = 90° [∵ OA is radius and TA is tangent at A]
⇒ 40° + BAT = 90° ⇒ BAT = 50°
5. In the figure PA and PB are tangents to the circle with centre O. If APB = 60°, then OAB is

(a) 30° (b) 60° (c) 90° (d) 15°
Ans: (a) 30°
Given APB = 60°
∵ APB + PAB + PBA = 180°
⇒ APB + x + x = 180° [∵ PA = PB ∴ PAB = PBA = x (say)]
⇒ 60° + 2x = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° – 60°
1200
⇒ 2x = 120° ⇒ x = = 60°
2
Also, OAP = 90° ⇒ OAB + PAB = 90°
⇒ OAB + 60° = 90°
⇒ OAB = 30°
6. In the given figure, TP and TQ are two tangents to a circle with centre O, such that POQ =
110°. Then PTQ is equal to
(a) 55° (b) 70° (c) 110° (d) 90°

Ans: (b) 70°
In quadrilateral POQT,
PTQ + TPO + TQO + POQ = 360°
⇒ PTQ + 90° + 90° + 110° = 360°
⇒ PTQ + 290° = 360°
⇒ PTQ = 360° – 290° = 70°
7. In figure, AP, AQ and BC are tangents to the circle. If AB = 5 cm, AC = 6 cm and BC = 4 cm,
then the length of AP (in cm) is
(a) 7.5 (b) 15 (c) 10 (d) 9

Ans: (a) 7.5
AP = AQ
⇒ AB + BP = AC + CQ
⇒ 5 + BP = 6 + CQ
BP = 1 + CQ
BP = 1 + CR
(∵ CQ = CR)
BP = 1 + (BC – BR)
BP = 1 + (4 – BP) (∵ BR = BP)
5
2BP = 5 ⇒ BP = = 2.5 cm
2
Now, AP = AB + BP = 5 + 2.5 = 7.5 cm
8. In figure, PQ and PR are tangents to a circle with centre A. If QPA = 27°, then QAR equals to
(a) 63° (b) 153° (c) 126° (d) 117°

Ans: (c) 126°
QPA = RPA [∵ ∆AQP ≅ ∆ARP (RHS congruence rule)]
⇒ RPA = 27°
∴ QPR = QPA + RPA = 27° + 27° = 54°
Now, QAR + AQP + ARP + QPR = 360°
⇒ QAR = 90° + 90° + 54° = 360°
⇒ QAR = 360° – 234° = 126°
9. Assertion (A): From a point Q, the length of the tangent to a circle is 24 cm and the distance of
Q from the centre is 25 cm then the radius of the circle is 7 cm.

Reason (R): A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact
Ans: (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of
assertion (A).

From an external point P, tangents PA and PB are drawn to these circles. If AP = 12 cm, find the
length of BP.
Ans: PA = 12 cm, OA = 5 cm, OB = 3 cm
OP2 = OA2 + AP2 = OB2 + BP2

25 + 144 = 9 + BP2
169 – 9 = BP2
BP = 160 cm = 12.65 cm. (Approx.)
12. In figure, a circle touches the side BC of ∆ABC at P and touches AB and AC produced at Q and
R respectively. If AQ = 5 cm, find the perimeter of ∆ABC.
Ans: AQ and AR are tangents from the same point

AQ = AR = 5 cm ...(i) [Tangents from the same external points are equal]
BQ and BP are tangents from same point
BQ = BP ...(ii)
CP and CR are also tangents from the same point
CP = CR ...(iii)
In ∆ ABC, Perimeter of ∆ ABC = AB + BC + AC = AB + BP + CP + AC
AB + BQ + CR + AC = AQ + AR [From (ii) and (iii)]
= 5 cm + 5 cm = 10 cm [From (i)]
Perimeter of ∆ ABC = 10 cm
13. Two tangents PA and PB are drawn to the circle with centre O, such that APB = 120°. Prove
that OP = 2AP.
Ans: Consider ∆s PAO and PBO

PA = PB [Tangents to a circle, from a point outside it, are equal.]
OP = OP [Common]
OAP = OBP = 90°
∆OAP ≅ ∆OBP [RHS]

Now APB + PAB + PBA = 180°
60° + 2 PAB = 180°
PAB = 60°
APB is an equilateral
AB = AP = 5 cm

After survey, it was decided to build rectangular playground, with a semi-circular are allotted for
parking at one end of the playground. The length and breadth of the rectangular playground are
14 units and 7 units, respectively. There are two quadrants of radius 2 units on one side for
special seats.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) What is the total perimeter of the parking area?
(ii) (a) What is the total area of parking and the two quadrants?
OR
(b) What is the ratio of area of playground to the area of parking area?
(iii) Find the cost of fencing the playground and parking area at the rate of ` 2 per unit.
Ans: (i) Radius of semi-circle (r) = 7/2 = 3.5 units
22
Circumference of semi-circle =  r   3.5  11 units

Thus, total area = 19.25 + 6.285 = 25.535 unit2
OR
(b) Area of playground = length × breadth
= 14 × 7

Area of parking = 19.25 unit2 [from part (ii) a]
∴ Ratio of playground : Ratio of parking area = 98 : 19.25 = 9800/1925 = 56/11
Thus, required ratio is 56 : 11.
(iii) We know that,
Perimeter of parking area = 18 units
Also, Perimeter of playground = 2(l + b)
= 2(14 + 7) = 2 × 21 = 42 units
Thus, total perimeter of parking area and playground
= 18 + 42 – 7 = 53 units
Hence, total cost = Rs. 2 × 53 = Rs. 106

Due to heavy floods in a state, thousands were rendered homeless. 50 schools collectively decided to
provide place and the canvas for 1500 tents and share the whole expenditure equally. The lower part
of each tent is cylindrical with base radius 2.8 m and height 3.5 m and the upper part is conical with
the same base radius, but of height 2.1 m. If the canvas used to make the tents costs ₹120 per m2,
find the amount shared by each school to set up the tents.

specific toy is in the shape of a cone mounted on a cylinder. For the wood processing activity center,
the wood is taken out of storage to be sawed, after which it undergoes rough polishing, then is cut,
drilled and has holes punched in it. It is then fine polished using sandpaper. For the retail packaging
and delivery activity center, the polished wood sub-parts are assembled together, then decorated
using paint. The total height of the toy is 26 cm and the height of its conical part is 6 cm. The
diameters of the base of the conical part is 5 cm and that of the cylindrical part is 3 cm. On the basis
of the above information, answer the following questions:

11. Find the HCF and LCM of 6, 72 and 120 using fundamental theorem of arithmetic.
Ans : 6 = 2 × 3
72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
120 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
Common factors of 6, 72 and 120 are 2 and 3.
HCF = 2 × 3 = 6
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
LCM = 360
12. Find the largest number that divides 2053 and 967 and leaves a remainder of 5 and 7
respectively.
Ans : Required number is HCF of 2053 – 5 and 967 – 7 = HCF of 2048 and 960 = 64
13. Two numbers are in the ratio 21 : 17. If their HCF is 5, find the numbers.

Ans : Let numbers are 21x and 17x.
Now, common factor of 21x and 17x = x
Also HCF = 5
⇒ x=5
∴ numbers are 21 × 5 and 17 × 5 i.e. 105 and 85.
14. Can we have any n ∈ N, where 12n ends with the digit zero?
Ans : 12n = (2×2×3)n = 2n × 2n × 3n
For units digit to be 0, 12n should have 2 and 5 as its prime factors, but 12n does not contain 5 as
its prime factor.
Hence 12n will not end with digit 0 for n∈N.
SECTION – C
15. Prove that √5 is and irrational number.
p
Ans: Let 5 is a rational number then we have 5 , where p and q are co-primes.
q
 p  5q
Squaring both sides, we get p 2  5q 2
 p2 is divisible by 5  p is also divisible by 5
So, assume p = 5m where m is any integer.
Squaring both sides, we get p2 = 25m2
But p 2  5q 2
Therefore, 5q2 = 25m2  q2 = 5m2
 q2 is divisible by 5  q is also divisible by 5
From above we conclude that p and q have one common factor i.e. 5 which contradicts that p and
q are co-primes.
Therefore, our assumption is wrong.
Hence, 5 is an irrational number.
16. Find HCF and LCM of 404 and 96 and verify that HCF × LCM = Product of the two given

Common factor = 2 × 2 = 4
∴ HCF = 4
LCM of 404 and 96 = 2 × 2 × 101 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 9696
Verification:
HCF × LCM = 4 × 9696 = 38784
Product of two numbers = 404 × 96 = 38784
Clearly, HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers
Hence verified.
17. Given that √2 is irrational, prove that (5 + 3√2) is an irrational number.

Ans: Let 5  3 2 be a rational number such that
5  3 2 = a, where a is a non-zero rational number.
a5
 3 2  a 5  2 
3

a 5
Since 5 and 3 are integers and a is a rational number, therefore is a rational number
3
⇒ √2 is a rational number which contradicts the fact that √2 is an irrational number.
Therefore, our assumption is wrong.
Hence 5  3 2 is an irrational number

18. (a) On a morning walk three persons step off together and their steps measure 40 cm, 42 cm, 45
cm, what is the minimum distance each should walk so that each can cover the same distance in
complete steps?
(b) There are 576 boys and 448 girls in a school that are to be divided into equal sections of
either boys or girls alone. Find the total number of sections thus formed.
Ans : (a) Minimum distance = LCM of 40, 42 and 45
Now 40 = 23 × 5
42 = 2 × 3 × 7
45 = 32 × 5
LCM of 40, 42 and 45 = 23 × 32 × 5 × 7 = 2520
They should walk 2520 cm or 25.20 m to cover the distance in complete steps.
(b) 576 = 26 × 3 × 3
448 = 26 × 7
∴ HCF of 576 and 448 = 26 = 64
576 448
∴ Number of sections =  = 9 + 7 = 16
